    3 meat plate (pulled pork, ribs, and sausage) & brisket sandwich
    Kacie D.

    Oh. My. God. This is not good - this place is walking distance from my home. What we got: 3 meat plate of pulled pork, ribs, and sausage & a brisket sandwich with Mac & cheese and baked beans. Smokey flavored rib meat pulls right off the bone. Sausage hasn't the perfect hint of heat. Pulled pork is flavorful and not dry. Their mac and cheese is so damn good - like "I'm full and another bite will hurt, but I'm going for it anyway". Bf said his brisket sandwich was really good and he'd definitely go back. My only complaint is that I wish there were some type of veggies as a side option like green beans, broccoli, or a little salad

    Oxtails plate with baked beans and dirty rice.

    Really good bbq. Definitely worth the wait. Plates portions were plentiful. Will be going back again.

    See it, smell it, taste it

    Too all of the Texans who think their BBQ is wonderful, step back, take a deep breath and head north to Frisco. These guys beat 99.9% of all BBQ in Texas. And you get a song. They are only open on weekends and sell out fast. Make the trip, you won't regret it but you will be dreaming about it all week. Ask them about their 1st of the month etc specials. Trust me, you will be hooked. I eat things here that I don't eat at other places.

    Three meat plate was the way to go!

    Fall off the bone, finder licking good, DELICIOUS BBQ! Found these guys at the Frisco, TX Frisco Fresh Market and purchased my meal due to the beautiful aroma coming from their booth. They smoke all their meats right there on site and the farmers market is open all year long. Thank you for the amazing food!!!!

    The Tu Bones BBQ food truck was located at Commerce and Houston today, next to the Federal Building. We heard through a coworker that they're kicking off their business. We got in line at 11:40, but waited about 30 minutes before getting our turn to order. I ordered the Tu Bones ribs, at $6 for two, with bread and a side when their potatoes wouldn't be ready for 20-30 minutes. I don't eat bread, but it looked so tasty. The side of beans was served in a sauce cup, and the serving was about one spoon. I'd rather pay a couple more dollars for a bigger side than the tiny serving of beans. Now on to the ribs. They were AMAZING!! I'm not a down to the bone eater, but I was working hard to get every piece of meat I could from those ribs. The sauce was on point, and the meat was soft and delicious. The coworker had the Big Dawg, which he assured me was delicious. It's a sausage on bread topped with brisket and slaw. I wanted some! With just a few tweaks, I think this BBQ business could reach legendary status. I don't think they were prepared for the turn-out today, but I do hope to check them out in the future to have more ribs and the potato!

    Just some of the amazing food!!

    At the recommendation of some co-workers, I grabbed dinner at Hard Eight while I was in town on…read morebusiness. The food was good, if not the greatest BBQ I've ever had, but the overall experience was much fun. The restaurant is in the form of a large barn with ample seating and a walk-through line where you can pick out your meat and then any sides and drinks you'd like. I enjoyed having the "conundrum" of trying to figure out which of the meats to try as they stare at you from the smoker, all saying, "Pick me!" My first visit to any BBQ place is nearly always to try the pulled pork, figuring that if they can't get that right, nothing else is likely all that good. That's not always true, but since pulled pork is one of my favorites, it's a good approach anyway. :) I took my platter laden with an abundant amount of pulled pork and then selected corn on the cob, cole slaw, a slice of custard pie, and a sweet tea. After paying, I made my way into the main dining area and selected a high-top wooden table along the wall that was, shall we say, very awkward to sit at based on how the stationary stool was positioned in conjunction with the table, so I moved to a nearby regular table that was just fine. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but based on the temperature that day, I chose to stay inside. Digging in, I found the pulled pork to be good, but it was a little dry and salty. The standard house BBQ sauce was good, though, and the corn on the cob was very nice. The cole slaw was about what you'd expect, and the custard pie was tasty, even if it wasn't the best I'd ever had. The sweet tea was excellent. What I probably loved most, though, was eating all this in that environment, with the Texas-American paraphernalia hanging on the walls and a radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s country music over the speakers--the years when I loved country the most. I wanted a BBQ experience as big as Texas while I was here, and I got that. For that reason, my visit to Hard Eight was a hit, and I will happily visit again on a future trip.

But our curiosity based on reviews and menu options got us to decide on this place. We seated ourselves as place was basically empty. Ordered Rattlesnake Bites(corn), chips and queso and waffle fried with Mojo mayo! For the main course, 4 of us got different entrees. I got the smashed burger with hill country on bed of nachos, my wife is vegetarian so she got the grilled avocado with Fajita Cantina on bowl of buttered lime rice. Our friends got Brisket on hacienda and then had switch it to hill country as the hacienda had tomatoes in queso and bowl of buttered lime rice and smoked chicken with buttered lime rice. None of the entries had any flavor. Hill country tasted like only BBQ sauce and there was not even a hint of mole. Brisket was fine but damp rice made the entree subpar Grilled avocado wqs grilled and again the rice was damp. Smoked Chicken was hard as well. Appetizers were the only good part of experience. Waitress stopped by and asked us if everything was good, my wife said food was mediocre. There was nothing done to make it right. I managed to finish mine but rest of them left the restaurant without finishing and hungry. 14$+ for an entree and it lacked anything to write about. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone for the food or service.

I ate the popper, lb&j, and the cowboy, which I love (ate the smokehouse in the past and that's also a top choice). The Cowboys pimento cheese was just the right amount of cheese for the slider and the jalapeno cilantro aioli was an outstanding addition to it. The PB&J - I'm a sucker for jam in a burger and the blackberry jam was refreshing and cool and paired great with the bacon in the peanut butter while still complimenting the meat. The Popper had a lot of rosemary lime aioli which was delicious to bite into. I've been here several times and narrowed down to my favorite 4. The sides (waffle fries, extra sugary drinks, onion rings) could be improved but while the sliders are pricy, they leave a great impression. The service is also very kind to lete grab a lot more ketchup packs and you do feel the "butcher" vibes in the food when you're eating.

Cowboy - Beef, pimento cheese, crispy onion straws, jalapeño cilantro aioli - DELICIOUS. the pimento cheese was the star of the show and made the slider taste extra good 2. Smokehouse - Beef, smoked brisket, Cheddar, pickled red onion, house BBQ sauce, rosemary lime aioli - I enjoyed this the only downside was the brisket was dry and made me so thankful for the drink that came with my meal. 3. Popper - Beef, fried jalapeño & cream cheese, pepper jam, bacon, cilantro, rosemary lime aioli - DID NOT ENJOY. Unfortunately the jam that this burgie came with just overpowered the whole thing and not in a good way. It did not mesh with the rest of the ingredients and the popper had no flavor or filling. It just flattened when I took a bite and I got nothing but a mouthful of that terrible jam. The waffle fries were ok just nothing special. The onion rings though....OMG so crisp, so fresh, so flavorful. Would just come back for those. Service was fine, we were the only people waiting to order so it was quick.

    Awesome experience…read more Noodles, beef skewers, and lamb skewers. The food was amazing. The skewers are definitely cooked over some type of coal in the back which gives it a smoky charred flavor you don't usually get on bbq outside of Asia. Definitely reminded me of the bbq in Pakistan. The noodles were my favorite part and the reason I'm itching to go back. The simple umami flavor takes this dish far and I would say it needs nothing more and nothing less. You don't go here for the service, but you do go here for the great food and the ambiance. It seems as though they have a karaoke stage but I don't went during the week so I did not get to see it in action, hopefully I will when I return.

The entrees are huge so you'll have plenty of leftovers to last for a few days lol. All the dishes are packed with flavor, you can't go wrong with anything.
